The colorful and distinctive capital of India is a city that is not enough to see in a week. But tourists, as a rule, have only a few days to get acquainted with the capital and the surrounding area, and therefore everyone asks himself the question of where to go from Delhi to see as much as possible. Traveling in India on your own is safe enough if you are not a single young woman. Girls are paid too much attention there, and tourists sometimes feel uncomfortable if there is no support from a companion or a company of like-minded people nearby.
Along the Golden Triangle
The most popular tourist route in India is called the Golden Triangle. In addition to the capital itself, it includes two more cities, where you should definitely get out for one day:
- Agra is famous for the world's most famous monument of love and devotion. It was here that the Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century.
- Jaipur is called the Pink City because of the special color of the stone from which the vast majority of the local buildings are built.
Traveling around India by taxi is the safest and most convenient type of transfer. To order a taxi in advance, it is best to use online booking. You can choose a car of different class and category and provide convenient transportation, even in the company of four or more people.
Choosing a taxi on the streets of Delhi is a kind of lottery, and therefore it is better to deal with trusted firms.
To Taj at dawn
If you are deciding where to go from Delhi for one day by public transport, head to Agra. There are many trains departing from New Delhi Railway Station daily. The best option for a one-day trip would be the Bhopal Shatabdi Express, which leaves the capital at 8.00. The journey takes approximately 2 hours. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.irctc.co.in.
At the train station in Agra, you can take a local tuk-tuk or rickshaw taxi. Entrance tickets to the Taj Mahal give you the right to visit several more attractions, and bags at the entrance will have to be returned to the storage room.
It is best to visit the mausoleum of Mumtaz Mahal right in the morning, while there are no large crowds of tourists, and the lighting is soft and allows you to take the best photos. If desired, in Agra you can stay in hotels, where the price per room starts from $ 10 per night.
To the Pink City
You can get to Jaipur from the capital by taking a taxi or by train (the price of the issue is from $ 100 and $ 20, respectively). The city, built of pink sandstone, is famous for Amer Fort, where they climb on elephants, the Palace of the Winds and numerous craft workshops, where handmade silk and cashmere stoles are usually bought as gifts for friends.
The most convenient way to get around Jaipur is by rickshaw. Fans of independent travel with rented cars in India will have a difficult time. Local drivers practically do not follow the traffic rules, and on the roadway there are large numbers of cows and other representatives of the animal world.
